Vacuum Forming

Vacuum forming is a staple of the thermoforming world.

Since the early 1980s, Grimm Brothers has been using precision vacuum forming to produce components for wide range of industries.

In this process, sheets of plastic—as large as 6' x 8' — are heated until flexible, then formed to the mold as excess air is vacuumed out. This process is ideal for manufacturing “nonvisible,” utilitarian parts. Upfront costs for tooling are typically much lower, making it a cost-effective option.
